I have 'Music Is Rotted One Note' and I love it, and I know it is NOT a good representation of most of his work.. w/ it being a largely acoustic, jazzy production. Now, I was a bit turned off by the noise that is "My Fucking Sound" from 'Do You Know Squarepusher?' and some negative reviews, and I am hesitant to pick up 'Go Plastic' for similar (w/ regard to the latter reason) reasons. I love everything I've heard from 'Feed Me Wierd Things' thus far, and I would run out and buy it tomorrow if not for its very limited quantities and proportionately elevated price (and, of course, you could count the amount of places you can actually land a copy with one hand; excluding eBay, and I'm not going there for this;) I have heard great things about 'Hard Normal Daddy' but I have an aversion to all things dated (looking and sounding) and since the year of its release provides the potential for its landing in the latter of the two noted parenthetically. Is this the case? If so, I'll wait to purchase that one, as I tend to embrace and appreciate electronic artists' earlier work after becoming acquainted with their newer work; that which really presents the listener with their unique touch, since they have come into their own. With Aphex Twin and Autechre this is the case: I heard (and became familiar with) Windowlicker and Confield long before say, Selected Ambient Works 85-92 (the most obvious choice here) and Tri Repetae, and I don't think I would have been so zealous about either artist if the circumstances were reversed. SO, what's your synopsis of 'Hard Normal Daddy' in this regard? I'm thinking of getting the EP with the Squarepusher fish [>[]] next, but feel free to try and change my mind on this one. |

basically FMWT and HND are brilliant jazzy drum'n'bass albums MIRON is a brillaint weirdo jazz album Budakhan Mindphone is laidback jazz with short spurts of acid Go Plastic and DYKS are mindblowingly brilliant cut-up fucked-up uzi'n'bass with a couple of great "pop" songs and well Selection Sixteen isn't too great :-D |

Go Plastic is worth hearing, worth buying; FMWT is good too but I prefer his other stuff. I really would like to hear the rest of Buzz Caner, that was some crazy shit. |

oh so he does have more jazz-prevalent albums? |
||||||||
|

Budakhan Mindphone is definitely more jazzy, I thought most was forgettable, except for the first track, Iambic 5 Poetry...my favorite SP track. Go Plastic has jazz elements to it, it's a good blending of his styles. |

music is one rotted note is totally acoustic jazz.. the only computer involvement took place, most likely, in post-production.. very interseting album |

By view is Rotted One Note is his best release. HND and FMWT are his next best releases. BM is a very weak fusion of MIRON and his earlier work. Selection 16 is largely forgettable with the exception of the Ceephax mix for the last track which I personally rate as one of my altime favourite tracks. I didn't like Go Plastic at all and his latest release I liked even less. The other stuff he has done is,in my opinion, average. |

last night the power went out, so i decided to put 'selection sixteen' on my discman, and i just sat and listened to it on headphones alone in the dark all the way through, and i think it's my favorite squarepusher now. you can really see how he went from the stuff on 'selection sixteen' to go plastic. |

Yes...he thought...people bought that peice of shit I will make more shit music an sell them that too, and if that sells well I will release a shit live version of that album with some new sub standard tracks as well...then when people start to criticise an album I will just claim it is a contract finisher with Warp. Some people might actually think what I just typed :D |

the problem is that people get it into their heads that because its squarepusher, its good, or because its autechre, its good. Thats such shite. Half you people would buy a cd of a cat farting for 9 hours if it had autechre written on it, and no doubt you'd like it too. "oh but its poignant and ironic" ...right |
||||||||

Depends whether the cat managed to produce underlying subtle rythmn's in its fart. |

hard normal daddy is also pretty jazzy if thats what your looking for (that is to say, more straightforward jazz, cus Go Plastic also has some amazing jazz aspects to but they're just not in as obvious a form.... and yeah theres not as much of it anyway) but anyway... you wont be dissapointed in HND, theres some really cool stuff like double basslines and intertwining winds n shit.. and some of his most subtle drum programming too imo |
||||||||

hard normal daddy is amazing. it's his most jazzy album for sure (excluding music is rotted one note). if you like rotted, you'll LOVE this one :) |
